First, as a demo piece for a video camera system it looked INCREDIBLE.

But as a movie it looked AWFUL. It's video - everyone looks too "normal" and not like a film at all.

I think you could take screen grabs and get ever actor's fingerprints from the film - it was that detailed and realistic looking.

I don't think this is the future of film making - I think that Ang Lee just thinks it's so neat he's chasing an ideal that is in his head.

Maybe seeing it in 120FPS and 3D (which literally could not be shown in any theater in the U.S (without loaning them the equipment and installing it for them) would make it better? I doubt it.

I think the non-HFR version was better looking- and the film itself is okay.
